18 Jul 2022 | 2. We Love Insurance, But We Love People More | 00:16:25 | |
We all know that leader. You know, the one who loves to dictate, delegate, and do their own thing without checking in with their people–but is that really what a leader is? My answer would be no. Many people want to identify as a leader but are unwilling to put in the hard work it takes to be one. Today on the show, we will discuss one of my convictions that ties right into that. At Vincent Family Insurance, our office Mantra and leading principle is “We love Insurance, but We Love People More.” At first glance, you might think, “What does that mean? Loving people is leading people. Sometimes that looks like tough love, and sometimes that simply means getting down in the trenches, rolling up your sleeves, and doing the dirty work. When you are a leader, you keep your people at the center of everything you do. The servant leadership approach is helping your employees to win first; in return, you will always win. Listen today to learn more about loving the people you lead. Episode Highlights:

22 Aug 2022 | 8. From ‘No’ to CEO with Charley Todd | 00:28:38 | |
Sometimes you have to explore your own dreams before finding your way back to the family business. This was true for Charley Todd. Charley grew up with his dad running a small family business - an Allstate Insurance agency. As the years passed, he knew he didn’t want to go into insurance.. So in his Senior year of college, he joined forces with some friends and started an app business.. As the business grew, he learned his first hard lesson - they did not understand how to handle the finances. One of the founders needed more money for some life events, and they had to dissolve the company. Charley made his way back to the Allstate business, and eventually became CEO of about 90 employees. Charley says one of their keys to success is having an employee driven workplace. Eventually, he handed over the title of ‘CEO’ to a partner so he could explore a new frontier in life - starting an E-Commerce company selling orange trees that grow indoors. From this journey, he has also pursued other passions including.. Building & selling co-working spaces, working on creative and volunteer projects, and teaching at the Columbia Prison Re-entry Program. Charley’s adventure has now landed him in L.A., and we are excited to see what comes next! Join us today as we learn lessons in navigating your path to being a leader with Charley Todd!

Are you leading by example? This is the goal of our guest today, Wyatt Mace. Wyatt has always had an entrepreneurial spirit and stepped up in times that leadership was needed. The husband and father of two girls grew up playing baseball in a good community that really supported him. As an adult, he moved away for a short time and was a personal trainer and nutritionist. When his wife got pregnant, they decided it was time to move back home, and Wyatt noticed a need in the community.. There were no real ‘healthy fast food’ options, so he started a meal prep company. He had some success with this and eventually went on to sell the company. In October of 2018, Wyatt set off on a new adventure and started an insurance agency. He started out with one staff member, and really thought of her as more of a partner. He had never been in a leadership role before at the time. As the years have gone by, Wyatt now has purchased two more agencies and has a total of 12 employees. Wyatt credits much of his drive and success to the support he has received from his wife over the years. She has always supported him and cheered him on, and that has been such an important part of his journey. Join us today as we learn about leading by example and pursuing dreams! Episode Highlights:

17 Oct 2022 | 16. Being Others Focused with Dale & Brian Karmie | 00:50:11 | |
Sometimes winning is just not losing. The journey to the success of Foreverlawn Inc. did not come easy. Brothers Dale & Brian Karmie built their business from the ground up, sometimes going without a paycheck in order to always make sure their employees were taken care of. In the year 2000, both brothers were in the software consulting business. They had grown up with an entrepreneurial father, and were beginning to feel a stirring desire to start their own business. One day, Dale came across an article about a local college getting a turf field. He sent the article to his brothers, and it sparked an idea in Brian. He thought a turf business would do well in the desert southwest. Six months later, in 2002, Dale & Brian moved from Ohio to Albuquerque, New Mexico and started an artificial turf business. They left their wives and kids behind in the pursuit to build a better life for them. When they arrived in New Mexico, they started seeing homes with gravel painted green in effort to look like grass. Everywhere they looked, they could see opportunity. Their families eventually were able to join them in Albuquerque, but the first year seemed like it was struggle after struggle. After a year and a half, they got a call from their turf provider that the company was going out of business. This meant that they needed to find a new provider and change their name. In 2004, they started a new turf business and called it Foreverlawn. As their success grew, they went from being a local company in Albuquerque to becoming a turf provider that was setting up other dealers. As the company grew, they had the opportunity to move back to Ohio, where they now have about 80 employees in their home office, including a number of family members. Foreverlawn now has close to 90 dealers across the US. We hope you enjoy today’s episode and learn about the value of being ‘others focused’! Episode Highlights:

Sometimes you come to a place in life where you know something needs to change.. For Joseph Puckett, that moment came when his wife was about to have their first child. They had no money, their credit cards were maxed out, and he got the call from his wife at the grocery store… they had bounced a check. Joseph began his career in leadership development at Amsouth Bank at 21 years old. A few short years into his career, a financial crisis happened and it was no longer a good time to be in banking. Joseph made the decision to open an Allstate Agency from scratch. Within a year of starting his agency, he met a guy named Craig Wiggins and realized he could go further with him. He sold his agency and basically forced himself into Craig’s business. Joseph and Craig had a small consulting company at the time called Transform Your Agency. He asked Craig if he could work for him in his agency. At first, Craig said ‘no’, but Joseph and his wife moved to Huntsville from Birmingham, and he set up an office in the attic of Craig’s business. Over time, he slowly inserted himself into Craig’s agency. Within 4-5 months, Craig gave him one of his agencies to run and within a year, he was running Craig’s entire operation. 10 years later, they are now working with over 1600 agencies. Joseph personally works with 70 agencies on a monthly basis. Over the years, they’ve trained over 20,000 people. Beau now works with the Craig Wiggins Coaching platform as an agency owner mentor and consultant.

14 Nov 2022 | 20. Lead With Authenticity with Justin Harkelroad | 00:40:09 | |
Our guest today has gone from insurance agency owner, to software developer, to fitness coach and insurance coach. Justin Harkelroad started a scratch insurance agency in Fort Wayne, Indiana in 2007 with a business partner after being told about an $18,000 bonus they could make. They worked their way up to the ‘Mega’ designation with Allstate. Fast forward to 2017, Justin and his partner developed ‘Follow Up Tool’, a CRM that allowed texting, phone call automation, and emailing to be in one location. This program proved to be helpful to salespersons to have everything in one place. By 2019, they merged and sold Follow Up Tool. Later that year, Justin went to a boxing gym in LA and fell in love. He came back to Fort Wayne and signed a lease on a gym. He sold the insurance agency in early 2020 and opened the gym a couple months later. Three weeks after they opened, everything got shut down due to the pandemic. The gym is now very successful, and he is in the process of opening a second gym on the other side of town. Get out your pen and paper to take notes! We hope Justin’s story inspires you to chase your dreams. You are the only thing standing between yourself and your goals. The sky's the limit!

12 Dec 2022 | 24. Leading Next To, Not In Front with Dave Segen | 00:34:14 | |
Welcome back to The Conviction of a Leader! We are excited you are here! In today’s episode, we are chatting with Dave Segen. Dave is a local business leader who lives in Northeast Ohio with his wife and kids. Originally from Pittsburgh, Dave moved to Ohio for college at Kent State. At the time, his plan was to move back to Pittsburgh after college, but he really grew to love the community. He met his now wife, and decided to stay in the area. At 25, he started as the catering manager at Cleveland State university’s arena. In less than a year, he moved into the director position, running the 15,000 seat arena. For the next four years, he continued there and traveled around the country doing PGA tours and other events. After four years, he moved to Rocket Mortgage Fieldhouse and spent eight years there as the Assistant Manager of Hospitality. At Rocket Mortgage Fieldhouse, he worked events such as the NBA finals and was one of the lead planners for the Republican National Convention. Dave eventually got married and started a family. He soon realized that his 70-80 hour work weeks didn’t really fit with family life. He and his wife took a trip to Mexico and talked about the future. Together, they made the decision that Dave would do one more season at the arena. A pivotal moment came when he realized he had to work Christmas day. Soon after, he met with a local business owner a few times, which resulted in purchasing a restaurant. Dave is now the owner of Bellacino’s Pizza & Grinders in Stow, and he also runs the Kitchen on Front Street inside the Cashmere Cricket in Cuyahoga Falls. Going from having 1,000 employees to 30 was a big adjustment, and Dave shares some of the lessons he learned from this experience. One of Dave’s strongest convictions is to lead next to people instead of in front of them or behind them. Together, we will learn from his experiences as he shares his story.

Welcome back to The Conviction of a Leader! Have we got a treat for you today! Beau is joined by friend of 17 years, Nate Netti. Nate has been married to his wife Abby for 10 years, and they have a soon to be two year old son, Julian. Nate is Cofounder and CEO of Forrest Company, a creative consultancy for B2B tech businesses. In 2020, Nate was doing freelancing work when he had a client that needed visual work, so he teamed up with Brandon Triola. They completed the project, delivered it, and it was such a hit that it went up to senior leadership of a billion dollar firm. After senior leadership saw their work, they asked for 10 more projects, causing the pair to hire more people. Forrest Company has doubled in size each year since, and they now have 20 employees and are in the mid seven figures!
